<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have been heavy my entire life! and guess what?? I'm SICK OF IT! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, in January I started a Facebook group called "30 Day Challenge" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each month I post a new challenge to help me and my quest for getting healthy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a few reasons that I want to get healthy: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. I want to get healthy for me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. I want to be healthy for my husband!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. I want to be healthy so that I can have a family! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
January's challenge brought us crunches, starting each day we did so many number of crunches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
February's challenge, is a plank challenge, </div>

Each year we fight with health problems, with financial woes, employment issues. 2013 was no different. I am thankful that Ira and I haven't had MAJOR issues this last year.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2014</span>, brings an exciting time! It's a clean slate wiped clean for a fresh start! I can't wait to see what it will bring!<br />
<br />
Last year I made <span style="font-size: large;">ONE</span> resolution. Just <span style="font-size: large;">ONE</span>, I really wanted to prove to myself that I could accomplish <span style="font-size: large;">ONE</span> goal in a year. My <span style="font-size: large;">ONE</span> resolution was to send birthday cards to all the immediate members of my family, and <span style="font-size: x-large;">I DID IT!</span> I actually accomplished a goal I set for myself!<br />
<br />
Here are this years resolutions..<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>To read the Book of Mormon </li>
<li>Send Birthday Cards</li>
<li>Eat dinner at the table</li>
<li>Complete 30 day challenges each month (either for exercise or "self-help")</li>
<li>Lose weight</li>
<li>Blog more </li>
<li>Read all the Newbery Award winners. (92 books!) </li>
</ol>
<div>
Losing weight is a huge one for me... I have been heavy all my life, and it's time for me to get healthy for both me and my husband, to live a life without worrying. And most importantly to be healthy enough to have a family. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ira and I are hitting a milestone anniversary this year, Feb. 21st we will be married for 10 years. I'm excited to see what the next 10 years will bring to our family! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
HAPPY <span style="font-size: x-large;">2014</span> to you and your family! </div>
<br />
<br />

I follow so many successful blogs that I gives me the "want" to keep blogging.<br />
<br />
Each year I say I'm going to blog more, and each year I fail... and fail miserably !<br />
<br />
So this year, I want to blog more, I want to bring you, my faithful readers (if there are any left!) some exciting posts, and give you a peek in my crazy school driven life...my life that consists of:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>my wonderful husband</li>
<li>my two laid back dogs</li>
<li>one crazy cat, that doesn't like her own reflection</li>
<li>my life while I'm working and going to school full time</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br />I hope you will join with me, while I attempt this blogging thing AGAIN! </div>

It's also hard to believe that nothing really has gone on in that year. To recap a little....<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>We made our annual trip to Flaming Gorge last July... (Which is coming up again very fast).</li>
<li>I've been in school... my class are each 5 weeks long that makes them VERY intense classes. My classes have insisted English, English, and more English classes... oh yes, with a 2 very PAINFUL math classes, which with the help of the powers that be, I passed!</li>
<li>Trips to Nevada</li>
<li>OH, we did get a new dog, as you can see on the right side of the blog. She is the most goofy chocolate lab. </li>
</ul>
See.. nothing too exciting.<br />
<br />
I think the most exciting thing that happened this year, is that I graduated to a Sophomore.<br />
<br />
I'm not promising that I will write more. Just that I will try and write more.<br />

I love finding old pictures of my parents! CLASSIC right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the blue suit. I have no idea where they are or what they are there for... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure it has something to do with Am-way. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Didn't every LDS parent sell Am-way?</div>

On May 3rd we said goodbye to our beloved dog Drake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drake went to the vet to get neutered on Wednesday. We brought him home Wednesday afternoon and was having a really hard time waking up. I placed a call to the vet and she said that he had a really hard time going under, and to just watch him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday morning around 5am I took Drake out to go potty, brought him back inside he went and laid down by Ira and was having a really hard time breathing. I called the vet again and he told us to meet him at the office. On the way to the office Drake took his last breath. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We tried everything, Ira did CPR (if that's what you call it for a dog) all the way to the vet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The vet doesn't know for sure what happened, only that he suspected a blood clot to his lung or heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's so strange to us to come home and not have Drake sitting by the door jumping up and down and so happy to see us! </div>

I love going to Temple square. Ira and I often just go and walk around. I don't think we can get enough of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every time we go, we learn more and more about the church that means so much to us!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So lately I've been baking a lot of bread! Ira could eat an entire loaf by himself. Last week I made 4 loafs! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a picture of a fun loaf I did. I've never braided bread before, but it turned out just fine, and was REALLY YUMMY</div>

We of course had to stop and check out the ducks. Ira was a little jealous because ALL of the ducks and geese we saw had a band on them. </div>

All of the monkey's or monkey type animals were ON something!!! The few that we saw here I think these are chimpanzee's..(I don't remember)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were really cute, and were in the grooming mood. The one on the far right would just sit there and all the others would come to it and just lay down in front of her and she would just groom them.</div>

I was concerned about this camels hump. See how it's all floppy. It's floppy because this camel is using it's stored fat. I didn't know that. But Ira did!<br />
See how much you learn from going to the zoo! </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">A Friend of mine and my SIL made home made laundry soap. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was a little skeptical about it. After much thinking and thinking about it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I decided to make it, save money, be a Molly Homemaker. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sure lets try it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is what you'll need; You can find everything you need at your local grocery store.</span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: 700;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKeBDK-0FFY_Wl16KdiyBChXEm2CbOtnTfSvMcvDe-cWIXVLTTZIUuHV_uzf6ZtjImHjmyHWgDXCfpKfH3TKaWAgHbvPc6q9qPJAWlPrd8Te2vMCNZgS7VesDo1DcNvxlmbwl2fg8omF9N/s1600/Photo0037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKeBDK-0FFY_Wl16KdiyBChXEm2CbOtnTfSvMcvDe-cWIXVLTTZIUuHV_uzf6ZtjImHjmyHWgDXCfpKfH3TKaWAgHbvPc6q9qPJAWlPrd8Te2vMCNZgS7VesDo1DcNvxlmbwl2fg8omF9N/s320/Photo0037.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: 700;"> Here's the recipe:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> 1 bar Fels Naptha soap </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 cup washing soda</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1/2 cup borax powder </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Grate the soap and put it in
a sauce pan. Add 6 cups water and heat it until the soap melts. Add the
washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. Remove from heat.
Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket. Now add your soap mixture and stir.
Now add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of water and stir. Let the soap sit for about 24
hours and it will gel. You use ½ cup per load. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #38761d;">

<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Now, lets talk about how I thought it turned out, </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I didn't care for it. I made a 5 gallon bucket full of this soap I didn't like. LOL talk about a waste. </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I did use it, but ONLY when I was OUT of normal laundry soap. </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I felt like it just didn't get our clothes clean and really didn't get stains out the first time through</span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">WE ALL KNOW THAT I HAVE STAINS! </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I spill EVERYTHING on me!!! </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">OK, so JUST because I didn't like it doesn't mean you won't. My SIL makes it all the time and she loves it. </span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Go ahead try it, then come back and let me know what you think.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've already blogged about the sewing projects I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Someday I'll move them to the "Projects" tab.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only other <i>thing</i> that happened was my Birthday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOT REALLY A BIG DEAL! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not so sure why I'm having such a hard time turning </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
um... OLD Well only 32 GOSH <span style="font-size: x-large;">32</span>!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe I'm 32! I really can't believe I'm saying (or typing) it out loud! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

For my Birthday, Ira took me to Olive Garden, YUMMY all you can eat pasta bowls! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is probably my FAVORITE restaurant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That weekend my BIL made me a yummy dinner and my SIL made me a yummy cake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a quite day and I loved spending time with my family. </div>
